I remember consulting a AAA special pub. (I believe) which reported the
findings of a questionaire completed by recent Ph.D.s. This study
covered such areas as publications, length of time it took to complete
course work, fieldwork, and dissertation (among many other important and
interesting variables. It also looked at employment both in and outside
of the academy. I have not been able to put my fingers on the exact
reference but maybe another "lister"s" memory will be jogged and they can
lend a hand.
Best wishes,
